[Calculating player points...]
[Contribution Rankings]
[No. 1: Faustus — Kills: 38,742 (including BOSS ×1, elite-grade ×6,156), Points: 9,999,999...]
[No. 2: Rhine·Dragon Slayer — Kills: 156, Points: 12,450]

...
[No. 10: ...]
The World Channel completely exploded.
"????"
"Am I blind? How many 9s are there behind first place?"
"What the hell does this mean? Faustus killed over thirty thousand monsters by himself???"
"Stop joking. There were that many players registered, and their combined kills still don’t add up to a fraction of his..."
"So this is what a real top-tier player looks like? I need to verify my account..."
"My mom asked me why I’m kneeling while gaming..."
"The second-place player only killed 156? No, seriously, what exactly happened inside that event world? Can someone explain?!"
"Transfer me 50 dollars and I’ll give you firsthand intel from the scene. Guaranteed explosive!"
"I still think this game has hacks..."
"Faustus be like: Turns out I worried for nothing. So you were all just competing for second place?"
"Please, have some humanity!"
...
Daniel stood atop the ruins of Starter Village, surrounded by the gradually fading light curtain of the instance.
Players were being teleported out one after another, each of them dusty and bedraggled, yet excitement still shone across their faces.
Even though most of them had barely managed to touch a monster, the event rewards were genuinely generous.
Anyone who had provided real assistance would receive, at minimum, a bronze-grade piece of equipment and an experience bonus.
Daniel also opened his own event reward panel.
[Event Ranking: No. 1]
[Base Rewards: gold coin ×5000, Contribution Points ×2000, Exp pool +5,000,000]
[Rewards: deathcurse potion ×10, blackgold-grade Treasure Chest ×1]
[Congratulations! You received an SSS Rating. Additional Rewards: Blessed Grail (platinum-grade), Demon Mask (platinum-grade)]
Daniel’s eyes lit up instantly.
Every single one of them was good stuff!
He first checked the reward for killing the BOSS. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮
[Wing of Thunder (platinum-grade)]
Agility: +20
Strength: +20
Effect 1 — Wings of Lightning: Grants the ability to fly after activation. Flight speed +300% for 30 minutes. Cooldown: 1 hour.
Effect 2 — Lightning Radiance Protection
Effect 3 — Lightning Affinity
Equipment Requirement: Constitution above 100.
Description: An item forged with the Thunderwing Dragon’s wings as its core, preserving part of the lightning power it wielded in life.
Daniel’s eyes brightened.
A flying item!
In the world of Stellar, being able to fly and being unable to fly were practically two different games.
Many terrains could only be reached through flight, and many BOSSes only revealed their weak points while airborne.
And a 300% flight speed bonus meant crossing huge stretches of land in a very short amount of time.
This was an incredibly practical piece of equipment. Still, Daniel already had God Speed, so the item itself wasn’t particularly attractive to him.
The only thing he currently lacked was the ability to fly.
He then looked at the second item.
[Thunderwing Dragon Core (blackgold-grade)]
Type: Forging / Alchemy Material
Effect: A core containing all the essence of the Thunderwing Dragon. Can be used for forging, alchemy, enchanting, pet feeding, and more.
Description: The Thunderwing Dragon’s entire Strength is condensed within it.
Daniel stared at the purple crystal core, streaked with flickering lightning, and fell into thought.
A blackgold-grade material!
It was obviously an extremely rare item. Though it couldn’t be used directly, whether for forging weapons or alchemy, it could definitely produce top-tier results.
On top of that, he had killed more than thirty thousand monsters during the event, and every dropped piece of equipment had gone straight into his inventory.
The overwhelming majority were bronze-grade and iron-grade items, with even a small number of silver-grade pieces mixed in!
Without much hesitation, Daniel directly listed all of them on the trading market, including Wing of Thunder and Thunderwing Dragon Core!
Most importantly, he listed everything at dirt-cheap prices!
It didn’t take long before someone on the trading market discovered a blackgold-grade material — Thunderwing Dragon Core — priced at only 500 gold coins!
As for the other equipment, Daniel sold them all off at prices far below market value.
And just like that, World Channel No. 616 erupted once more!
"A blackgold-grade Thunderwing Dragon Core for only 500 gold coins? Am I hallucinating from farming too hard?"
"A platinum-grade Wing of Thunder for 100 gold coins? Is this a joke?!"
"Wait, this isn’t a hallucination — look! These low-priced items are all being sold by Faustus!"
"Holy shit! It really is! All items go on sale in 3 hours — all hail Faustus!"
"My god, bronze-grade equipment is only 10 copper coins, and even iron-grade only costs 100 copper coins! Is he giving out福利 to the whole server?"
"Damn... that’s a blackgold-grade material! There’s no way he doesn’t know how valuable it is. Even if he listed it for tens of thousands of gold coins, people would still buy it!"
"No, seriously, he’s dumping all this gear at rock-bottom prices... what’s the point?"
Watching the World Channel instantly fill with 999+ messages, Daniel curled his lips into a faint smile.
Soon, the entire 616th game world would be facing an epic-grade war, and might even have to confront powerful enemies from other worldlines.
He didn’t mind giving the overall player base a moderate boost in strength.
As for selling at a loss?
The buyers might profit, but Daniel, as the seller, would never lose.
The reason he set the sale to begin after 3 hours was also to give more people time to prepare.
After finishing with the equipment, he turned his attention to the deathcurse potions in his bag.
[deathcurse potion (consumable / special item)]
Effect: After use, the next time you kill another player, the target is guaranteed to drop one piece of currently equipped gear, and their level drops by 5. However, if you are killed before that happens, your own level drops by 10.
Description: A curse that wagers everything — either you die, or I do.
Daniel’s mouth twitched.
This thing...
was a little brutal.
Still, it would be perfect for dealing with enemies.
Then he looked at the blackgold-grade treasure chest.
[Ding! Congratulations! You obtained: Hand of Shadow (blackgold-grade)]
[Hand of Shadow (blackgold-grade)]
Type: Gloves (Bound)
Agility: +120
Effect: All elemental damage +25%, ignores 10% of the target’s elemental resistance.
Additional Effect: Attack Speed +15%
Class Restriction: Archer
Level Requirement: 45
Seeing that it was bound, Daniel immediately equipped it.
His current equipment loadout was now: Moon Reaper, Holy Cross, Hand of Shadow, and Merit Medal.
Then his gaze fell upon the final two platinum-grade rewards!
[Blessed Grail (platinum-grade)]
Saint’s Blessing: While in combat, restores 1% MP per second.
Super Growth: Restores 1% MP for every target killed!
Description: A grail blessed by the gods, possessing an extremely rare effect!
[Demon Mask (platinum-grade)]
Poison Fiend: Immune to poison, but carries a random negative status effect.
Undying One: When taking damage, has a chance to randomly negate one instance of damage.
Description: A demon’s mask, with both benefits and drawbacks.
Looking at the two pieces of equipment, Daniel nodded.
Though both items had fairly decent effects, what he truly looked forward to was what they would become after being enhanced a millionfold!
Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately put both pieces of equipment up for auction on the trading market!
Their stats were strong, and they were perfect for draining gold out of those wealthy consortiums through an auction round.
Very soon, another frenzy swept through the World Channel.
"Whoa! Unbelievable — Faustus is actually auctioning off the Blessed Grail? Such a powerful piece of gear!"
"And that Demon Mask is no joke either. Immunity to poison status? Tsk tsk, an item like that would still be god-tier even in the late game!"
"Enough talking. First bid, first benefit. Our Stormbound Guild is taking that Demon Mask. The rest of you should know your place and give up."
(A real-world guild; the game had not yet unlocked guild creation.)
"What a big mouth. If you’ve got the money, buy it. If you don’t, stop barking. Froststar Guild is determined to win it!"
"Hmph! The auction’s started. Let’s see whose wallet talks louder!"
The trading market’s auction only had one requirement:
Cash.
As a result, major real-world financial groups and gaming guilds all started frantically buying up gold coins.
For a time, they forcibly pushed the exchange rate between gold coins and dollars all the way to 1:3!
And even that rate was still climbing.
"50,000 gold coins!"
"Hmph, Stormbound Guild, you really are poor as dirt! Rhine Guild bids 80,000 gold coins!"
"What? This is insane — all that for just one platinum-grade item?"
"You don’t know shit. Setting aside the fact that it’s being auctioned on behalf of Faustus, the item itself is already worth that much..."
As one large guild after another entered the fray, the auction became a spectacle that left countless players utterly dumbfounded!
Those two platinum-grade items were ultimately sold for the astronomical price of 400,000 gold coins!
At the same time, Daniel also received the system notification!
[Ding! Detected that the host sold Blessed Grail and Demon Mask. Triggering Millionfold Boost...]
[Ding! Congratulations! You obtained 400,000,000 gold coins!]
[Congratulations! You obtained Infinite Grail (supreme-grade), Demon’s Whisper (supreme-grade)!]
Daniel’s breathing grew rapid.
Supreme-grade equipment — even he had only ever seen items of that level in the hands of gods!
He hurriedly opened his inventory to inspect them.
[Infinite Grail (supreme-grade / special equipment)]
Effect 1 — Eternal Blessing: While in combat, restores 1% HP and 1% MP per second.
Effect 2 — Slaughter Growth: For every target killed, max HP +1, max MP +1, recovery speed +1%!
Description: A legendary relic of the God of War, one that nourishes itself through slaughter. As long as war endures, it will never cease.
[Demon’s Whisper (supreme-grade / special mask)]
Effect 1 — Demonic Contract: Immune to all negative status effects (poison, curses, stun, fear, etc.), but cannot receive any positive buffs (including buffs from teammates).
Effect 2 — Demonic Protection: When receiving fatal damage, negate that damage and lock HP at 1%. (24-hour cooldown)
Description: A mask traded with demons, exchanging light for absolute freedom.
Infinite Grail... restoring 1% HP and MP every second, even while in combat?
That meant as long as he wasn’t one-shot, he could fight while continuously regenerating both HP and MP.
Combined with Slaughter Growth, the more he killed, the faster he recovered — the longer he fought, the stronger he became!
And Demon’s Whisper granted immunity to all negative status effects!
That meant stuns, freezes, fear, and similar effects would all be useless against him in the future!
Although the price was that he could no longer benefit from buffs, he didn’t rely much on buffs anyway. With a full set of god-tier gear, why would he care about a few extra buffs?
And the once-per-day death immunity essentially meant he had an extra life!
An absolute god-tier ability!
Daniel was overjoyed. Without hesitation, he equipped both items.
The grail turned into a stream of light and merged into his chest, while the mask transformed into a semi-transparent black face covering that settled over his face.
In an instant, he felt two completely different powers surging through his body.
One was an endless flow of vitality.
The other was an icy, absolute form of protection.
Daniel nodded in satisfaction.
Now, all four of his core attributes had reached 755, and with all this equipment on top of that, his combat power had multiplied many times over.
Just as he was thinking that, a sudden commotion broke out around him.
"Faustus is over there!"
"Holy shit, it’s really him!"
"大神! Can I get a photo with you?!"
"Faustus, join my guild! I’ll pay you a million a year!"
"Get lost! Who are you looking down on? Faustus, our Arcane Guild sincerely invites you to join — name your price!"
"..."
The crowd surged toward him like a tidal wave, and Daniel frowned.
He had no interest in being treated like some kind of zoo exhibit.
With a single thought, God Speed activated.
His figure vanished from the spot instantly, leaving behind only a mass of fanatical, clueless players still pushing deeper into the crowd...
